Rectification deeds or Confirmation deeds are generally known as correction deeds. They are drafted between two parties to correct any mistakes in an earlier deed. Typographical errors, spelling mistakes in names, issues with the property description, and other problems in the execution of the documents might all fall under this category. A deed of confirmation can be used to fix these errors later.
A rectification deed includes typographical, grammatical, and descriptive errors in the property description. A supplementary deed will add any deletions in the main deed.
Please note that the amendment deed can only repair factual inaccuracies in real estate papers. If there are legal errors and you want to alter the original deed fundamentally, your application to register a rectification deed will be denied. Additionally, it is important to ensure neither party's interest changes due to the rectification deed.
Furthermore, the sub-registrar will only approve your request for the registration of the correction deed if he persuades that the error in the original document was unintentional. All parties must accept the proposed amendments to the agreement and show up in person at the sub-office registrar for the deed's registration.
The following are some conditions for a rectification deed:
(A) The mistake must be accurate.
(B) It must be unintentional only
(C) The correction of it requires the consent of all parties.
Any factual inaccuracies in documents may be fixed, eliminated, or rectified using a rectification deed. A rectification deed can be used to correct legal errors. A rectification deed cannot alter the legal or fundamental essence of the original document. Additionally, problems relating to jurisdiction and stamp duty cannot be corrected by a rectifying deed.
The Indian Registration Act recognizes rectification deeds in section 17 states that Any deed proving an interest in real property must be recorded. The confirmations should be made through consent, restriction, or deeds, and stamp duty applies on a confirmation deed. The appropriate confirmation deed must be registered if the primary document has been or needs to be registered.
Rectification deeds include:
The wording must be clear and straightforward, and it can't break any rules or change the original document's scope. Additionally, in the process of rectification, make sure that neither party violates the rights.
The opposite party can file a lawsuit under section 26 of the Specific Relief Act of 1963 if the parties don't agree to any alteration or rectification of the executed documents.
The mistaken party may file a lawsuit with the aid of a lawyer to have the deed corrected. If the court determines that a document does not accurately reflect the parties' intentions, it may order its correction.
Executing a rectification or correction deed is not subject to any restrictions. A rectification deed may be carried out if a mistake is there. Nevertheless, it advises fixing the error as soon as both parties become aware. The parties will eventually need to rectify that specific issue, and the longer it takes them to do so, the more difficult it may be to do so in the future.
You can now make appointments, complete paperwork, and pay stamp duty for correcting deeds online. Each state has a dedicated website to keep the rectification deed process online. Apply for a corrected deed on the website of the relevant state.

The ability to amend errors in legal documents like sale deeds and title deeds provided by rectification deeds, which are significant legal tools. A deed of confirmation, extra deed, amendment deed, etc., are the additional names for it.
Where the original deed does not accurately reflect the parties' true intentions for the deed, there must have been a genuine error. The error should only apply to facts and shouldn't be a legal error.
An instrument known as a "rectification deed" is signed by the original parties to an agreement to fix errors in the agreement. Additionally, the rectification deed needs to record.
All of the original parties must agree to execute a rectification deed jointly.
If the original documents only have minor errors, registering a rectification deed would cost you Rs 100. The sub-office registrars may request a greater stamp duty fee if significant revisions are required.
The names of the persons involved, information about the original deed, and a description of the error are all appropriate inclusions in a rectification deed format. The parties involved should additionally sign an agreement confirming that the document's content has not changed.
It is also known as a Supplementary Deed, Amendment Deed, or Confirmation Deed.
